Through the Fog

By: Michael C. Grumley

Narrated by: Amy McFadden

Two weeks after his 18th birthday, everything changes for Evan Nash. When he injures his head after being run down on his bicycle, he begins having strange, harrowing visions whenever he tries to sleep. He turns to psychiatrist Shannon Mayer for help. Mayer has troubles of her own: her daughter has been kidnapped, and she's desperate for answers. Though she's at first skeptical of Evan's accounts, it quickly becomes clear that his mysterious ailment may be the key to finding her child. Soon Evan's visions prove essential to the case but at a terrible cost. Evan and Shannon face an agonizing decision: Should he risk himself to save the girl?

incomplete

this episodic story left me wanting loose ends tied up. Not sure if it was intended as semi fantasy or sci fi . too much was left unexplained. Characters battles with weak back stories. Not a book to recommend to others. Narration was good within the limits imposed by the author.

*Captivating*

This was my first time to read Michael Grumley, and I was not disappointed. His characters were well developed and I felt as if I knew them personally. It was easy to relate to Dr. Shannon Mayer as a mother grieving over the unresolved kidnapping of her young daughter, Elle. I could "feel" her pain and frustration as she tried to hold her life together. As a psychiatrist, she meets Evan Nash, an awkward, picked on teenager who suffers from terrifying dreams after a head injury. These dreams are becoming more frequent and more terrifying, to the point that Evan's body physically reacts so violently during them that he is risking death if they cannot be resolved. It is during one of these "dreams" that Dr. Mayer realizes that what Evan is experiencing is visions rather than dreams. He can see things that are happening. Together they embark on a path to use Evan's powers to find Elle, if that can be done without killing Evan.

Something a little different

To short, but otherwise enjoyable. certainly not what I was expecting. Narrator did a good job. Apparently this will be a series, I look forward to reading the continuing story.

Great book

I really really really enjoyed this book. I wasn't sure about the narrator at first but I liked it.

Engaging

The storyline was engaging enough that I was surprised when it was over. I didn't realize I had been listening for that long! The narration was also very well done. Worth the money.
